Consider that it's a marathon, not a sprint. It's not supposed to be easy and rarely ever is. Just because you can't see the finish line right now doesn't mean that it isn't there. Ever step brings you closer and puts more of the journey behind you. Take one day at a time, expect ups and downs and expect setbacks. Rationalise your emotional impulse thoughts, avoid rose tinted spectacle thinking. Things don't work out for a number of different reasons but there are always reasons. It was never perfect. Also, consider that toxic relationships are often the most potent and compelling. Just because you miss someone to the ends of the earth doesn't mean that they were ever good for you, or you for them.
Keep busy. Rest when you can but when you're rested then try to fill your time. There is a window for outright grieving but then you have to drag yourself up and out. Healing is a decision as much as a process.
